Metro Vancouver’s Non-Road Diesel Engine Emissions Regulation Bylaw

All non-road diesel powered equipment that is 25hp (19kw) or greater must comply with Metro Vancouver’s Non-Road Diesel Engine Emissions Regulation Bylaw No. 1161, 2012 (the Bylaw). The Bylaw requires owners or operators of Tier 0 and Tier 1 non-road diesel engines to register, label, and pay fees in order to operate within Metro Vancouver. Please advise what Engine Tier your proposed equipment meets and if it is in compliance with Metro Vancouver’s Bylaw. Provide the engine registration number issued by Metro Vancouver if applicable. The City may, at its discretion, give preference to equipment that meets higher emission standards.

Note: If your diesel powered machine has a licence plate but is not primarily used or intended to be used for transportation on a public street, road or highway then the engine in the machine is considered as a non-road engine and the regulation will apply.
